Who it's for

This game is for Harry Potter fans looking for a simple, free, and addictive game to pass time, especially offline R1R10R28R58. It is not for players seeking deep content, complex mechanics, or a game with frequent updates R82R129.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew slightly negative, with a 3.5% recent-negative signal, but the overall lifetime rating is 4.375 stars. The recent reviews highlight common frustrations like aiming and repetitiveness, which are likely factors in the slightly lower recent sentiment compared to the high lifetime average. The developer's notes mention bug fixes and unlocking spells for any character, but recent reviews do not specifically confirm or deny the effectiveness of these changes, though aiming issues persist R4R15. The app appears abandoned, as the last update was over 116 months ago.

If you like Harry Potter, you’re gonna like this, although I will say, where is Bellatrix? Why is it only Voldemort, Lucius, and Umbridge who you can fire the spells at?
  8. [R16] 5/5 · US Good game: Has such cute characters and so fun

  10. [R62] 1/5 · GB Good game but a bit hard🤗: Lasts a wile and not many adds
  11. [R4] 1/5 · US Worst game: I cant even hit the target
  12. [R15] 4/5 · US Good game but hard to aim: It’s hard to aim
  13. [R44] 5/5 · US It a little hard: It still hard to hit people
  14. [R50] 4/5 · US Fun but Frustrating: I just can’t ever hit any shots
  15. [R13] 4/5 · US Ok: I mean, it’s a fun game, but can get a bit boring. I downloaded it because I am a Harry Potter fan, but when you miss, they don’t give you another try, and you can only unlock new skins if you pass. Overall, it’s fun but not super fun.
  16. [R75] 4/5 · GB Not what I expected: This is fun to play for the first few minutes but it's a little sad that a game with so much potential to be a great game was as simple as this when there really is so much more that could have been added to this game . All in all a good game to play if your at a loss for something to keep you occupied while waiting in a line at the store or while on the tube or train for a sh
  17. [R82] 2/5 · GB Not great.: I would like to give this game a 5 star however the game has little to no content. I like the graphics and the first few minutes of gameplay there is pretty much no characters or spells. I would also like to see an upgrade to the aiming system. Wouldn’t recommend.
  18. [R129] 3/5 · GB Entertaining but repetitive: This game has great potential but the thing that holds it back is the fact it is so repetitive. You fire a spell, Miss and you just have to try again. If you added some boss levels or unique wands and skins it would be really enjoyable. Also you can’t get loads of coins easily. This should be improved.
  19. [R11] 3/5 · US Average: Awesome game for HP geeks, but pretty basic.
  20. [R34] 4/5 · US Amizaing: This game is hard but fun
  21. [R70] 3/5 · GB Needs improving: Could be better
  22. [R36] 5/5 · US Great game: This game is wonderfully addictive but it is a little bit complicated and challenging but it is a little good game and it’s not like the end of the world but it’s so addicting and fun to know that you are killing the villains of the serie that we love and miss for the last 20 years. This is everything I’d like to say. Good bye.
  23. [R42] 5/5 · US Amazing game: This is so addicting It is a great game!
